Abstract
Description
Bei der Erfindung wird ausgegangen von einem elektrischen Schalter nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention is based on an electrical Switch according to the preamble of claim 1.
Mit diesem Oberbegriff nimmt die Erfindung auf einen Stand der Technik von elektrischen Schaltern Bezug, wie er etwa in der DE-A-25 27 326 beschrieben ist. Ein nach dem Stand der Technik ausgeführter, elektrischer Schalter weist zwei längs einer Achse miteinander in oder ausser Eingriff bringbare Abbrandkontaktstücke auf, von denen zumindest eines in koaxialer Anordnung einen längs der Achse erstreckten Kontaktträger mit einer auf dem Kontakt träger befestigten, kohlenstoffhaltigen Lichtbogenelek trode enthält. Durch eine solche kohlenstoffhaltige Licht bogenelektrode wird der Kontaktabbrand des betreffenden Abbrandkontaktstückes gegenüber einem metallischen Ab brandkontaktstück verringert. Die beim Ein- und Ausschal ten eines elektrischen Schalters auftretenden mechanischen Kräfte vermag ein Abbrandkontaktstück mit einer kohlen stoffhaltigen Lichtbogenelektrode jedoch nur sehr bedingt aufzunehmen. With this preamble, the invention takes on one State of the art of electrical switches related, such as it is described, for example, in DE-A-25 27 326. One after state of the art electrical switch points two along an axis in or out of each other Engaging erosion contact pieces, of which at least one in a coaxial arrangement along the Axially extended contact carrier with one on the contact carrier-attached, carbon-containing electric arc trode contains. By such a carbon-containing light arc electrode is the contact erosion of the concerned Abbrandkontaktstückes compared to a metallic Ab fire contact piece reduced. The one when switching on and off mechanical switch occurring A burn-up contact piece with a carbon is able to withstand forces Arc electrode containing substance, however, only to a very limited extent to record.
Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, einen elektrischen Schalter der gattungsgemässen Art anzugeben, dessen Abbrandkontakt stücke unter Beibehaltung eines geringen Kontaktabbrandes eine hohe mechanische Festigkeit aufweisen.The invention as characterized in the claims is the task of an electrical switch Specify generic type, its erosion contact pieces while maintaining a low contact erosion have a high mechanical strength.
Der erfindungsgemässe elektrische Schalter zeichnet sich bei einem geringen Kontaktabbrand durch eine hohe Schlag festigkeit und ein pseudoplastisches Bruchverhalten seiner Abbrandkontaktstücke aus. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Abbrandkontaktstücke mit hoher Geschwindigkeit miteinander in oder ausser Eingriff zu bringen, ohne dass Beschädi gungen der miteinander kontaktierten oder voneinander getrennten, lichtbogentragenden Teile der Abbrandkontakt stücke zu befürchten sind.The electrical switch according to the invention stands out with low contact erosion due to a high impact strength and a pseudoplastic fracture behavior of its Burn-off contact pieces. This makes it possible to Burning contact pieces with each other at high speed to bring in or out of engagement without damage conditions of the contacted or from each other separate, arcing parts of the erosion contact pieces are to be feared.
Weitere Eigenschaften und Vorteile der Erfindung werden nachfolgend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten und die Erfindung nicht beschränkenden Ausführungsbei spiels näher erläutert.Other features and advantages of the invention will be subsequently using one shown in the drawing and embodiments not limiting the invention explained in more detail.
Hierbei zeigt die einzige Figur eine Aufsicht auf eine axial geschnittene Ausführungsform eines als Druckgas schalter ausgeführten und in Hochspannungsschaltanlagen verwendeten, erfindungsgemässen elektrischen Schalters, wobei in der linken Hälfte der Zustand in der Einschalt position und in der rechten Hälfte der Zustand während des Ausschaltens dargestellt sind.Here, the only figure shows a supervision of one axially cut embodiment of a pressurized gas switches implemented and in high-voltage switchgear used electrical switch according to the invention, the status in the switch-on in the left half position and in the right half of the state during of switching off are shown.
In Fig. 1 bezeichnet 1 ein im wesentlichen hohlzylindrisch ausgebildetes und etwa aus Isolierstoff bestehendes Ge häuse. Dieses Gehäuse 1 ist mit einem Isoliergas, wie etwa Schwefelhexafluorid von einigen bar Druck gefüllt. Es enthält zwei längs einer Achse 2 miteinander in oder ausser Eingriff bringbare Schaltstücke 3 und 4. Das Schalt stück 3 ist in elektrisch leitender Weise mit einem nicht dargestellten Stromanschluss verbunden und enthält einen feststehenden Nennstromkontakt 5 sowie ein feststehendes, beispielsweise vollzylindrisch ausgebildetes, Abbrand kontaktstück 6. Das Schaltstück 4 ist ebenfalls in elek trischer leitender Weise mit einem ebenfalls nicht dar gestellten weiteren Stromanschluss verbunden und ent hält einen beweglichen Nennstromkontakt 7 sowie ein be wegliches, beispielsweise hohlzylindrisch ausgebildetes, Abbrandkontaktstück 8. Der bewegliche Nennstromkontakt 7 trägt auf einem Teil seiner Innenfläche eine Isolierdüse 9, welche die Abbrandkontaktstücke 6 und 8 koaxial um gibt und welche zusammen mit dem beweglichen Abbrand kontaktstück 8 einen Ringkanal 10 begrenzt, durch den beim Ausschalten in einem Druckgasspeicher 11 befindli ches und beispielsweise durch Lichtbogenaufheizung oder mechanische Arbeit komprimiertes Isoliergas in die beim Ausschalten zwischen den beiden Abbrandkontaktstücken 6, 8 gebildete Lichtbogenzone 12 (Strömungspfeile in der rechten Hälfte der Figur) gelangt.In Fig. 1, 1 designates a substantially hollow-cylindrical formed and about consisting of Ge insulating housing. This housing 1 is filled with an insulating gas, such as sulfur hexafluoride, of a few bar pressure. It contains two switching elements 3 and 4 which can be brought into or out of engagement with one another along an axis 2 . The switching piece 3 is connected in an electrically conductive manner to a power connection (not shown) and contains a fixed nominal current contact 5 and a fixed, for example fully cylindrical, erosion contact piece 6 . The contact piece 4 is also connected in an electrically conductive manner to a further power connection, also not shown, and holds a movable nominal current contact 7 and a movable, for example hollow-cylindrical, erosion contact piece 8 . The movable rated-current contact 7 carries on a part of its inner surface an insulating nozzle 9, which is coaxial outputs the Abbrandkontaktstücke 6 and 8 in order, and which contact piece together with the movable burn-8 an annular channel 10 delimited by the turning off in a pressure gas reservoir 11 befindli ches and for example, by Arc heating or mechanical work compressed insulating gas enters the arc zone 12 (flow arrows in the right half of the figure) formed between the two erosion contact pieces 6 , 8 when switched off.
An den einander zugewandten und in der Einschaltposition (linke Hälfte der Figur) miteinander in Eingriff befind lichen freien Enden der Abbrandkontakte 6 bzw. 8 sind auf Kontaktträgern 13 bzw. 14 Lichtbogenelektroden 15 bzw. 16 angebracht.At the mutually facing and in the switch-on position (left half of the figure) in engagement with each other Lichen free ends of the erosion contacts 6 and 8 are mounted on contact carriers 13 and 14 arc electrodes 15 and 16 respectively.
Die Lichtbogenelektrode 15 ist als massives zylindrisches Teil ausgebildet und enthält zumindest teilweise Kohlen stoffasern und eine Kohlenstoffmatrix, in welche die Kohlenstoffasern eingebettet sind. Die Lichtbogenelek trode 15 weist eine hohe mechanische Festigkeit auf, wenn die Kohlenstoffasern in alle Raumrichtungen orien tiert sind oder wenn eine Schicht 17 von Kohlenstoff fasern vorwiegend in Umfangsrichtung um die Achse 2 auf einen Graphitkern 18 gewickelt ist. Die Lichtbogenelek trode 15 kann beispielsweise mittels eines Kupfer- und/ oder Silber-Hochtemperaturlotes mit einem zwischen 1 bis 10 Gewichtsprozent betragenden Gehalt mindestens eines der karbidbildenden Elemente Chrom (Co), Molybdän (Mo), Wolfram (W), Vanadium (V), Niob (Nb), Tantal (Ta), Titan (Ti), Zirkonium (Zr), Hafnium (Hf) auf dem Kon taktträger 13 befestigt werden. Die Lichtbogenelektrode 15 und der Kontaktträger 13 können auch hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall enthält die Lichtbogen elektrode 15 vorzugsweise lediglich die Schicht 17 aus gewickelten und in eine Kohlenstoffmatrix eingebetteten Kohlenstoffasern. Solche Schichten 17 lassen sich bei spielsweise durch Wickeln nach dem filament winding-Ver fahren oder durch Aufwickeln eines Kohlenstoffaser-Gewebes herstellen.The arc electrode 15 is designed as a solid cylindrical part and at least partially contains carbon fibers and a carbon matrix in which the carbon fibers are embedded. The electric arc electrode 15 has a high mechanical strength if the carbon fibers are oriented in all spatial directions or if a layer 17 of carbon fibers is wound predominantly in the circumferential direction about the axis 2 on a graphite core 18 . The arcing electrode 15 can, for example, by means of a copper and / or silver high-temperature solder with a content of between 1 and 10 percent by weight of at least one of the carbide-forming elements chromium (Co), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), vanadium (V), Niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf) can be attached to the contact carrier 13 . The arc electrode 15 and the contact carrier 13 can also be hollow cylindrical. In this case, the arc electrode 15 preferably contains only the layer 17 of wound carbon fibers embedded in a carbon matrix. Such layers 17 can be moved for example by winding according to the filament winding method or by winding a carbon fiber fabric.
Die Lichtbogenelektrode 16 ist ringförmig ausgebildet und enthält längs der Achse 2 erstreckte Kontaktfinger 19. Die Kontaktfinger 19 enthalten ebenfalls jeweils Kohlenstoffasern und eine Kohlenstoffmatrix, in welche die Kohlenstoffasern eingebettet sind. Hierbei sind die Kohlenstoffasern der Kontaktfinger 19 vorzugsweise zu mindest teilweise radial ausgerichtet, da hierdurch eine hohe elektrische und thermische Leitfähigkeit zwecks leichter Abfuhr des Lichtbogenstroms und der Lichtbogen wärme sowie eine besonders hohe mechanische Stabilität der Lichtbogenelektrode 16, insbesondere beim Aufprall während des Einschaltens auf die Lichtbogenelektrode 15, erreicht wird. Solche radial verlaufende Kohlenstoffasern sind beispielsweise in einem Material mit dreidimensional ausgerichteten Kohlenstoffasern vorhanden, können aber auch durch Verwendung eines zweidimensionalen Kohlen stoffaser-Gewebes, dessen erste Faserrichtung radial zur Achse 2 und dessen zweite Faserrichtung axial oder in Umfangsrichtung verläuft, erzielt werden.The arc electrode 16 is ring-shaped and contains contact fingers 19 extending along the axis 2 . The contact fingers 19 also each contain carbon fibers and a carbon matrix in which the carbon fibers are embedded. Here, the carbon fibers of the contact fingers 19 are preferably at least partially radially aligned, since this results in a high electrical and thermal conductivity for the purpose of easy dissipation of the arc current and the arc heat, and a particularly high mechanical stability of the arc electrode 16 , in particular in the event of an impact during switching on the arc electrode 15 , is reached. Such radially extending carbon fibers are present, for example, in a material with three-dimensionally oriented carbon fibers, but can also be achieved by using a two-dimensional carbon fiber fabric, the first fiber direction of which is radial to the axis 2 and the second of which is axial or circumferential.
Jeder der Kontaktfinger ist auf federnd ausgebildeten Endabschnitten 20 des Kontaktträgers 14 befestigt, so dass in der Einschaltposition (linke Hälfte der Figur) eine gute Kontaktkraft zwischen den Lichtbogenelektroden 15 und 16 besteht. Die Befestigung der Kontaktfinger 19 kann entsprechend der Lichtbogenelektrode 15 durch Hochtemperaturlöten erfolgen, kann aber auch durch Lage rung der Kontaktfinger 19 auf Absätzen 21 bewirkt werden, welche jeweils auf einer der der Achse 2 zugewandten Innenflächen der Endabschnitte 20 des Kontaktträgers 14 angebracht sind. Die Halterung eines Kontaktfingers 19 auf einem der Absätze 21 kann, wie in der linken Hälfte der Figur angegeben ist, beispielsweise durch eine U-förmig gebogene Blattfeder 22 erfolgen, deren einer Schenkel in eine auf der Aussenseite eines der Endabschnitte 20 angebrachten Vertiefung eingeschnappt ist, und deren anderer Schenkel das dem feststehenden Abbrandkontakt 6 zugewandte freie und in Richtung auf die Achse 2 ange schrägte Ende des Kontaktfingers 19 hintergreift. Wie in der rechten Hälfte der Figur angegeben ist, kann die Halterung eines Kontaktfingers 19 auf einem der Absätze 21 aber auch mittels einer Schraube 23 erfolgen, welche etwa in axialer Richtung vom freien Ende des Kontakt fingers 19 in den Absatz 21 geführt ist.Each of the contact fingers is fastened on resilient end sections 20 of the contact carrier 14 , so that there is a good contact force between the arc electrodes 15 and 16 in the switch-on position (left half of the figure). The attachment of the contact fingers 19 can be done according to the arc electrode 15 by high temperature soldering, but can also be effected by position tion of the contact fingers 19 on paragraphs 21 , each of which is attached to one of the axis 2 facing inner surfaces of the end portions 20 of the contact carrier 14 . As indicated in the left half of the figure, a contact finger 19 can be held on one of the shoulders 21 , for example by a U-shaped leaf spring 22 , one leg of which is snapped into a recess made on the outside of one of the end sections 20 , and whose other leg engages behind the fixed erosion contact 6 free and in the direction of the axis 2 beveled end of the contact finger 19 . As indicated in the right half of the figure, the holding of a contact finger 19 on one of the shoulders 21 can also take place by means of a screw 23 which is guided approximately in the axial direction from the free end of the contact finger 19 in the shoulder 21 .
Beim Ausschalten des Druckgasschalters wird das bewegli che Schaltstück 4 durch einen nicht dargestellten An trieb nach unten geführt. Der Antrieb kann vergleichs weise schwach ausgebildet sein, da die zu überwindenden Reibungskräfte zwischen den beiden in der Einschaltposi tion ineinandergefahrenen Abbrandkontaktstücken 6, 8 wegen des geringen Reibungskoeffizienten von Kohlenstoff auch bei hohen Kontaktdrücken gering ist.When you turn off the gas switch, the movable surface 4 is driven down by a drive, not shown. The drive can be made comparatively weak, since the frictional forces to be overcome between the two burned-in contact pieces 6 , 8 which are moved into one another in the switch-on position is low, even at high contact pressures, because of the low friction coefficient of carbon.
Nach Oeffnen der Nennstromkontaktstücke 5, 7 kommutiert der abzuschaltende Strom auf einen über die Abbrandkon taktstücke 6, 8 verlaufende Strompfad. Nach dem Trennen der Abbrandkontaktstücke 6, 8 wird ein Schaltlichtbogen gebildet, dessen Fusspunkte sich auf den Lichtbogenelek troden 15, 16 befinden. Wegen der gegenüber Metallelek troden vergleichsweise hohen Abbrandfestigkeit von Kohlen stoff entstehen nur kleine Mengen an schädlichen Zer setzungsprodukten in der Lichtbogenzone 12, wodurch eine Verschlechterung der Löscheigenschaften des Löschgases - wie etwa durch Metalldampf bei Verwendung von Metall elektroden - ausgeschlossen wird. Der geringe Abbrand der Kohlenstoffelektroden ermöglicht ausserdem eine grössere Anzahl von Kurzschlussabschaltungen ohne Revision des Schalters. Bei Annäherung des abzuschaltenden Stromes an einen Nulldurchgang wird dann der Lichtbogen bei ent sprechendem Kontaktabstand, wie durch Strömungspfeile angegeben ist, beblasen.After opening the nominal current contact pieces 5 , 7, the current to be switched off commutates on a contact pieces 6 , 8 extending over the erosion contact current path. After separating the erosion contact pieces 6 , 8 , a switching arc is formed, the base points of which are electrodes 15 , 16 on the electric arc electrodes. Because of the comparatively high erosion resistance of carbon compared to metal electrodes, only small amounts of harmful decomposition products arise in the arcing zone 12 , whereby a deterioration in the extinguishing properties of the extinguishing gas - such as by metal vapor when using metal electrodes - is excluded. The low erosion of the carbon electrodes also enables a larger number of short-circuit shutdowns without having to overhaul the switch. When the current to be switched off approaches a zero crossing, the arc is then blown at a corresponding contact distance, as indicated by flow arrows.
Beim Einschalten werden die voneinander getrennten Ab brandkontaktstücke 6, 8 durch den nicht dargestellten Antrieb gegeneinander geführt. Im Zuge der Einschalt bewegung können die beiden Lichtbogenelektroden 15, 16 aufeinanderprallen. Ein solches Kontaktprellen ist un schädlich, da wegen der geeigneten Ausrichtung der Koh lenstoffasern deren hohe mechanische Belastbarkeit voll zum Tragen kommt.When switching on, the separate fire contact pieces 6 , 8 are guided against each other by the drive, not shown. In the course of the switch-on movement, the two arc electrodes 15 , 16 can collide. Such contact bouncing is not harmful, because due to the suitable orientation of the carbon fibers, their high mechanical strength is fully effective.
